Mayon volcano eruption in the Philippines could last for months, displacing thousands.

The Mayon volcano in the Philippines erupted last week, forcing nearly 18,000 people to evacuate from poor farming communities within a 4-mile radius. The eruption could potentially spew lava for three or more months, creating a protracted crisis. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. distributed food packs and other aid to displaced villagers and reassured them that the government is doing everything it can to help. The volcano is the most active of the country's 24 known volcanoes and last erupted violently in 2018, displacing tens of thousands.
